A photographer reportedly attempted to take Bieber's photo outside of a Calabasas mall which led to some type of physical altercation between the two, law enforcement officials told TMZ.

The photographer called police and by the time they arrived, TMZ reports, Bieber and girlfriend, Selena Gomez had already left the scene.

Witnesses told TMZ, after the alleged altercation, the photographer was approached by a lawyer who advised him he could stand to get a payout from the incident and that he should contact police to obtain a police report.

Witnesses also told the site that the photographer had trapped Bieber's car and refused to move it when asked to by the singer, which ultimately caused the alleged altercation.
